The race was won by Nordic club coach Matt Smider, who completed two laps of the five-kilometre Mickey Olson trail in 24:54. He was followed by Bart Jarmula, while former Olympic biathlete Nikki Norrie was the top woman. The Revelstoke Nordic Ski Club hosts its annual Team Scream Relay on Saturday, Feb. 27.

Crash fraudsters busted by own online bragging of him later running a grueling obstacle race in Whistler, as well as a video of him taking down an opponent in a mixed martial arts bout. Shown the evidence, he quickly settled, citing a miraculous recovery.

ICBC also denied a Kamloops man's claim that vandals burned his truck after finding evidence the fire was suspicious and a Craigslist posting trying to sell the truck because he couldn't afford to pay for its repairs.

Penalties may go beyond reduced or denied payouts.

Fairbridge said there were 520 successful fraud convictions in the last five years, some leading to jail time.

Those convicted may not be able to cross the border again or may have trouble getting a loan or a job, he noted.

Asked if fraudsters are getting wise and going dark on social media after a claim, Fairbridge said no.

"People can't help themselves."

An estimated 10 to 20 per cent of auto insurance claims are fraudulent or exaggerated, costing an extra $600 million a year in B.C. and adding $100 to the insurance premiums of the average driver.

"We're not going to tolerate that, we're not going to pass those costs along to honest customers," Fairbridge said.

Insurance fraudsters are increasingly being tripped up online by their own social media postings.

ICBC says it opened 2,350 cyber cases last year where investigators used social media or other online postings to try to uncover suspected fraudulent or exaggerated crash claims.

"Social media is a growing area that's been highly successful for us," said Chris Fairbridge, manager of ICBC's Special Investigations Unit.

"When you've got pictures and you've got video and you've got posts of what you've been doing, it's pretty hard for anybody to look at that and say you're telling the truth when you've exaggerated."

Fairbridge said the dedicated unit now has 10 investigators dedicated to cyber cases, up from two when it was started in 2010.

About 70 per cent of their investigations have some effect in reducing payout costs or leading to a complete denial.

One 2015 example was a B.C. woman who claimed crash injuries kept her from returning to work as a hairdresser, but posted

She settled for half her original claim after being confronted with her social media posts.

In another case that went to court, a woman sought $1 million after being hit by a motorcycle in a crosswalk. A judge award-

ed her just $20,000 and ordered her to pay $34,000 in ICBC costs after deciding from social media posts and other evidence that she'd grossly exaggerated her injuries.

Other phony claimants were undone by their friends' social media postings.

Revelstoke RCMP warn of counterfeit U.S. money ALEX COOPER

alex.cooper@revelstokereview.com The Revelstoke RCMP is warning people to be on the lookout for counterfeit U.S. currency, after several fake $50 bills were found in the community recently.

RCMP say that on several dates in early February, they were informed of the fake

$50 bills, each bearing the same serial number IG28432877A. "The public are advised to examine unfamiliar currency and are always welcome to not accept currency if they are not certain of its authenticity," wrote Staff-Sgt. Kurt Grabinsky in a news release.

"In each of these bills the paper is of reasonable quality, however not of the same

texture as a genuine bill. The detail of the photo copy is not to the point where the words and letters are visible. Most areas of a genuine paper currency are actually words, numbers or images, rather than solid lines."

The suspects are a non-descript male and female that when making purchases also include genuine currency. These bills

he newly-completed Mica Heliskiing lodge perches on a ridge above the Mica Dam, overlooking the Kinbasket reservoir – a jewel in a crowning achievement done mostly by Revelstokians.

The old lodge was bulldozed on April 5, and just eight months later on Dec. 5, Vic Van Isle delivered a new, 12-bedroom, and nearly 14,000 square-foot luxury lodge.

Mica Heliskiing marketing manager Darryn Shewchuk had high praise for the contractor and small army of subcontractors who built and polished the lodge.

“It’s just absolutely amazing that they could pull off such a high-end luxury building in eight months. There are luxury homes half that size that have taken two years to build.” he said. “It’s unbelievable. It’s truly an eighth-wonder of the world.”

The building is certainly not a ski shack. It boasts a massive living area, a media room, a full kitchen, bar and many high tech amenities. There are hot tubs, private views of the reservoir from every room, a full gym, a gourmet kitchen and massage studios.

“The building is ridiculously overbuilt. The walls are all six-inch thick with double matting and double drywall for sound-proofing,” Shewchuk said. “The floors are saw-cut, 12-inch wide timber and all the stone … is all from Mt. Robson.”

Giant fir beams, wooden planked flooring, natural cedar finishings, log walls, custom concrete counters, immaculate rock work, sheer glass and engineered lighting design synthesize rustic the cabin feel with modern sheik.

Local artist Tina Lindegaard was handed a $50,000 budget to scout and commission works from local and Kootenay artists, which are featured throughout.

It’s the work of CEI Architecture, who add the lodge to an impressive array of public and private buildings in B.C. including the Chuck Bailey Rec-

reation Centre in Surrey, the Northwest Community College in Smithers and Jim Pattison Centre of Excellence at Okanagan College. The B.C. company has received many accolades for green and sustainable construction.

“They really got what we were looking to accomplish in keeping the cozy feel of the existing lodge, but really making something that’s modern, state-of-the-art and combining those two elements,” Shewchuk said. “They pulled it off amazingly.”

Behind the natural wood and glass, there’s a high-tech substructure. The media room offers bigscreen TVs next to the fireplace. Many rooms wirelessly sync the built-in sound system with your smartphone. The ski room features lockers with built-in drying fans. The room has an overall negative pressure so, “You don’t get that wet boot smell going thorough the whole lodge,” Shewchuk joked.

The finishings match the modern/rustic mix. The wire-brushed solid fir doors cost in the thousands.

Restored metal lamps accentuated the rooms. The luxe linens and light-cancelling drapes welcome you to a dark sleep, and open to a panoramic view in the morning.

Shewchuk wouldn’t disclose the price tag. Mica Heliskiing is a partnership between minority owners Dan and Susan McDonald and newer majority owner Patrick Callaghan. The McDonald’s are heliskiing veterans who operated Island Lake Lodge near Fernie before moving to Revelstoke and starting Mica. Callaghan is a California-based computer industry veteran and hardcore ski enthusiast who backed the project.

“It’s one specific owner who put the money out of his pocket to build something he wanted to build,” explained Shewchuk. “That being said, he wouldn’t have done it if the company wasn’t profitable. We’re sold out nine or ten months in advance.”

Public hearing set for Mackenzie Village development this development to move forward with this covenant on it," said councillor Linda Nixon. "I think it will help the community understand it’s a market-driven development."

Evans has proposed a large development with up to 1,200 units, though the final amount would depend on the market. The footprint of the development would stay constant, but the number of units could change depending on what is selling.

The re-zoning bylaw creates a comprehensive development zone for the 35-acre Nichol Road properties. It allows for small neighbourhood commercial uses along Nichol Road and a variety of housing types throughout the property.

The bylaw divides the property into six sub-zones, each with their own possible residential uses, ranging from small apartments to single-family homes.

An open house was held on the development last April. From that, Evans was required to produce seven reports outlining the financial, infrastructure, and traffic impacts of the development.

You can look for documents relating to the development by visiting bc-revelstoke. civicplus.com/index.aspx?NID=142.

ALEX COOPER

alex.cooper@revelstokereview.com A public hearing for the major Mackenzie Village development has been scheduled for early March at the Revelstoke Community Centre.

Revelstoke residents will have their say on the proposed Arrow Heights development at the community centre on Tuesday, March 8, at 7 p.m.

Revelstoke council gave first and second reading to the bylaws that would allow the 1,200-unit development to be built on Tuesday.

Final approval would be contingent on support by council, and the city and the developer David Evans coming to terms on a Master Development Agreement (MDA).

The MDA would set out what works the developer is required to undertake before it begins construction on each phase of the project, Dean Strachan, the city's manager of development services, told council.

A covenant would be placed on the land saying a phase couldn't be started on until the required servicing is put in place.

Briefs: City seeking CBT grant for new skateboard park ALEX COOPER

alex.cooper@revelstokereview.com The City of Revelstoke is going after a $500,000 grant from the Columbia Basin Trust in order to build a new skateboard park.

Council voted to apply for a share of the CBT's new Recreation Infrastructure Grant program for the proposed new skateboard park in Kovach Park.

Under the program, the CBT is giving $9 million over the next three years to communities throughout the basin for sports facilities, parks, fields, trails, bike lanes, and infrastructure that improves access to facilities.

The Columbia Valley Skateboard Association has been working for years to build a new skateboard park in Revelstoke. They were granted permission to replace the existing facility in Kovach Park in 2013 and

hired New Line Skateparks to design and build the new park. The proposed design was well received at an open house last April.

Last summer, the CVSA were denied a federal grant. This new application will be the latest attempt to secure funding for the $750,000 facility.

RPAC GETS TOURISM FUNDING The Revelstoke Arts Council will be receiving an extra $10,000 in tourism funding under a new agreement that was approved by council last week.

The agreement will see the arts council get $25,000 in tax dollars and $35,000 in Resort Municipality Infrastructure Funds to support the Summer Street Festival in Grizzly Plaza and the Revelstoke Performing Arts Centre.

The arts council asked the city for an extra $10,000 in tourism funding to help pay the

theatre manager's salary, however the program rules say that money can be used for core funding, but can only be used for paying acts.

"The extra money will go towards programming but we'll be able to use some of the money from the city towards core funding," said Miriam Manley, the manager of RPAC. "Very clearly we need to make sure we're not using tourism infrastructure money for anything other than programming."

Manley said they will be applying for funds from the CBT to help cover the costs of running the theatre. "Basically, RPAC needs subsidies," she said. "We want to keep our tickets as affordable as possible."

FUNDING FOR ASSET MANAGEMENT PLAN The City of Revelstoke received $32,500 from the gas tax fund to go towards its as-

set management planning.

The city will be using the money, which comes from the Gas Tax Strategic Priorities Fund, to take part in a cross-Canada Leadership in Asset Management Program coordinated by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities.

“This funding will assist the City of Revelstoke in continuing the development of a sustainable asset management program," stated Mike Thomas, the city's director of engineering & development. "Building staff, council and community capacity in understanding the importance of strong infrastructure planning will improve Revelstoke’s ability to plan, fund and manage infrastructure decisions.”

Revelstoke is one of 11 municipalities selected to participate in the program.

The city has been working on an asset management plan for several years, and expects to complete it in 2017.

Macdonald, Bennett react to Throne Speech TREVOR CRAWLEY TOM FLETCHER Black Press

The throne speech doesn't do enough to help families, says Columbia River-Revelstoke MLA Norm Macdonald.

“An awful lot of B.C. families are finding it awfully tough.

What’s the government going to do? I don’t see any new ideas. We’ve heard it all before. There is nothing specific that addresses the people’s concerns,” Macdonald said.

“They are saying look how bad it is in Alberta. Well, Alberta doesn’t have MSP payments, ICBC, gas is cheaper. All these little things are taking cash out of people’s pockets.

And at the same time, we get a tax cut for the richest two per cent. They’re are not the ones who are struggling.”

His neighbour – and frequent political rival – Bill Bennett, the Liberal MLA for East Kootenay, had the opposite message, saying that what the government was doing works and should be kept up.

"We need to keep supporting the natural resource industries and also try to diversify our economy into high-tech and tourism and so forth,” Bennett said.

He pointed to balanced budgets, the progress on the Site C dam, and B.C.'s AAA credit rating as signs of the Liberals success. “One of the main messages in the throne speech is, ‘Hey, we’re doing really well compared to the rest of the country’, so we need to keep doing it and not get tempted into spending too much money or go for unproven ideas.”

The Throne Speech was delivered last Tuesday, Feb. 9,

by Lieutenant Governor Judith Guichon, on behalf of Premier Christy Clark. In it, the Premier doubled down on her election promise to pay off B.C.'s debt with revenues from liquefied natural gas exports, despite delays in proposed projects in the face of a global glut of oil and gas.

"Success is not for quitters," she declared in the speech.

"It is not a choice between keeping B.C.'s natural gas industry stable or deciding to grow it," the speech said. "We must begin to export, or the 13,000 people who depend on this industry today will be out of work."

NDP leader John Horgan said B.C. Liberal losses in two Lower Mainland by-elections last week show the public isn't buying Clark's promises of prosperity.

"The premier said three years ago she was going to create 100,000 jobs with an LNG industry," Horgan said. "Today

Christy Clark speaks to reporters following the Throne Speech. ~ Photo by Tom Fletcher, Black Press she said she hopes to save 13,000 jobs if an LNG plant takes place."

One new initiative in the speech is a renewed focus on food production, including an expanded "buy local, grow local" effort involving local governments and community organizations. Farmers are to be offered a tax credit for donating food to non-profits, and an agrifoods conference is to be held in Kelowna in November.

Touting B.C.'s economic performance, the speech includes unusual criticism of Alberta, saying it "lost its focus.

"They expected their resource boom never to end, failed to diversify their economy and lost control of government spending."

Bennett predicted that the Liberal government will be tabling a budget with a surplus in the next week or so, which

should help towards some other Kootenay East priorities, such as highway improvements and getting a full-time MRI at the East Kootenay Regional Hospital.

Bennett also sounded off on Liquid Natural Gas—a key part of the Liberal government’s 2013 provincial election that promised a $100 billion prosperity fund through the development of LNG. Bennett admitted that the price of oil and the state of the world economy has slowed down progress on LNG development.

"Natural gas is very cheap right now and it has taken some of the steam out of some of the international drive towards the production of LNG," he said. "Having said that, we have at least two LNG megaprojects—one in Kitimat called the LNG Canada and the other one, the Petronas project in Prince Rupert—that I believe will announce they’re going forward in 2016.”

Macdonald also took issue with the government’s projections for LNG development in the province.

“On LNG, it always was made up by numbers,” Macdonald said. “100,000 new jobs is completely made up. It’s simply not reality. No informed person would see that as reasonable. So either the leadership doesn’t know any better or they are deliberately misleading the people of British Columbia.”

The speech restates the government's intention to implement recommendations from former deputy minister Bob Plecas to hire more child protection social workers and modernize the Ministry of Children and Family Development.

"That work must begin with ending the culture of blame that exists for those public servants with the most difficult role," the speech says.

With an election scheduled for 2017 and the last full budget before it to be presented Feb. 16, the speech repeats the phrase "stand up for B.C." that could emerge as a re-election slogan. It also refers to "getting to yes," a phrase Clark has used frequently in relation to LNG and other resource developments.

As it did before the 2013 election, the government has resumed jobs-themed TV ads focused on skills training and technology incentives.

The Throne Speech made no mention of the Trans-Canada Highway.

MP Wayne Stetski talks Ottawa and his budget priorities ALEX COOPER

alex.cooper@revelstokereview.com Wayne Stetski, the MP for KootenayColumbia was in Revelstoke on Thursday to meet with local officials and constituents and get an idea of their priorities and concerns.

Stetski was elected as an NDP MP in October and was named the party's Critic for National Parks. We spoke to him about life in Ottawa, the national parks and his hopes for the upcoming federal budget, which is expected to come out next month. Here's an abridged transcription of the interview.

The full text can be read online.

Revelstoke Review: What’s your impression of Ottawa?

Wayne Stetski: It’s a great city as a place to visit and live. Lots of green space and lots of old buildings, which I love. The Parliament itself takes some getting used to in terms of understanding how it works. I gave my inaugural speech back in December. On Friday, before I left to come home, I presented the petition for proportional representation that came out of the Kootenays.

I’ve been able to raise a couple of questions around infrastructure and future funding. I have some meetings set up with the minister responsible for infrastructure or his staff.

Do you feel the Liberals are listening?

It comes down to individual relationships a lot. Last week there was a concern the Ktunaxa have on their land and during a break I was able to walk across the floor and talk to the minister, and talk to her about the issues. I handed her a letter. It’s sort of that one-on-one relationship you try to develop.

David Wilks would say if TV stopped broadcasting question period and showed committee work or the day-today, people would have a better impression of Parliament. What do you think?

I have to give the new speaker a lot of credit. He is really trying to bring a sense of decorum to the House. Last week he said to one of the members, 'Would the honourable member of wherever remind his colleague sitting below him this is not the Muppet Show.' He’s been pretty specific, pretty direct and I think it’s having an impact.

What do you think of the Liberals performance so far?

During the campaign and debates I said there were a lot of similarities between the three progressive parties in terms of our platform. We differed in terms of how far we might want to go with a particular issue or objective, or how we might get there, but there were a lot of similarities. The Liberal platform has a lot of elements that are important to the NDP, so we’re hopeful. We’re watching to make sure they deliver on what

Columbia Shuswap Regional District

Kootenay-Columbia MP Wayne Stetski. ~ Photo by Alex Cooper, Revelstoke Review they say they’re going to deliver on.

All of Canada will get a better idea once the budget comes out because governments are often very good at words, but I was in government long enough to know it counts when they put money behind the words.

What do you want to see in the budget?

As the critic for national parks I want to

make sure they meet what they said they would. The Conservative government cut $32 million from the parks budget and that resulted in layoffs, including in some of the parks in the riding. The Liberals said they would restore $25 million of that $32 million. They said they would add $25 million to assist with ecosystem improvements.

In 2017, they’ve said it will be free access to national parks. Currently parks – I don’t have a final figure – but it gets maybe $30–50 million in revenue from entrance fees. We want to make sure that doesn’t end up as a shortfall in Parks Canada’s budget.

On infrastructure, of course, there's lots of promises. There's dire needs for infrastructure improvements in municipalities across Canada. We need a different formula in terms of how money is allocated because many of the grants in the past required municipalities to come up with the first one-third of any project. So if you’re looking at a sewer plant or water plant, it’s not hard to need $9 million. For a small community to come up with $3 million out of their local taxation is really hard.

What’s wrong with municipalities paying their share?

It depends on the size of the municipalities. Large cities should be able to come up see Wayne Stetski, page 8

I believe strongly that we, the people who live most connected to the land, should have the ability to make decisions about what happens on the land base that surrounds our communities.

This is a principle that I have fought for throughout my political career, and it is a fundamental right that has been eroded by the BC Liberals since 2001.

When I served as Mayor of Golden in the 1990’s there were three significant instances where the community was able to use existing tools to influence decisions on the public lands that surround Golden.

When our mill went down, the fiber in our area would only be made available if a manufacturing facility was operated in Golden. When a major ski hill was proposed the people of Golden had a vote to decide if it should go ahead. And when we had recreational conflicts in our mountains we were able to meet as user groups to develop a plan to avoid conflicts and protect the environment.

Under the BC Liberals, all of these three tools have been lost to us, and the communities that I now represent in the Legislature are paying the cost.

In Kimberley, the community is faced with logging in its watershed. The need for the community to be able to ensure safe drinking water is not considered in government decisions to log, and there is no meaningful mechanism available for the voices of residents of Kimberley to be heard.

In Canal Flats, the mill has been closed and the fiber that fed that mill now goes elsewhere. The requirement for local fiber to provide local employment is gone.

In the Columbia Valley, the BC Liberals created a fake municipality that handed over control of a vast area west of Inver-

mere against the wishes of the people.

Taxpayers’ money now goes to fund a mayor and council for Jumbo where there is no town, no residents, and no development.

In Revelstoke, recreational systems are being compromised because the government no longer has to take into account the views of the community, honour agreements with community partners, or consider a range of values when making decisions on the land base.

The BC Liberal government has consistently put corporate interests ahead of community needs, and the consequences for local communities will be felt for many, many years to come. Whether it is the loss of water quality, reduced economic activity, waste of taxpayers’ money, or loss of recreational and environmental values, these are all examples of problems that could have been avoided if government was required to listen to what local residents had a say about the use of their land base.

Arrowhead buoy removal a mistake

Editor, This is a copy of my e-mail to the Canadian Coast Guard on the potential removal of the Arrowhead Channel Marker.

I cannot believe that the Canadian Coast Guard, which is the authority on safety for all navigable waters, would be so short sighted in their proposal to remove Light Buoy A29,LL40.7 — generally known to the boating public as the Arrowhead channel marker.

This buoy has been in service for many years, and was there when the sternwheeler Minto plied these waters.

The Columbia River keeps dumping its load of silt from upstream and the chan-

nel was dredged quite often. It's then I believe the buoy was installed. Its solar panels keep its heart alive, and I would think that there is a minimum of cost and maintenance.

There has been over the years, many boaters that were very relieved to see its flashing green light when confronted by a sudden storm, a fog bank or just getting your bearings. It is a vital link in the safe conduct of many boaters coming out of the northeast arm (Beaton), to pick up the light at Whiskey Point, which passes you onto the Arrowhead light and then south to Bannock Point light or Albert Point further south.

It's part of a system that people have

come to rely on for safe navigation in these waters. If you remove one part of the chain the system becomes unreliable and that's not what the public would expect from the Canadian Coast Guard.

I for one, seriously question the decision to eliminate this buoy. (Unless it's part of a bigger plan to get rid of all the buoys?) This is not only frivolous, it's downright cheap of the coast guard to save a few paltry dollars and put the boating public at risk.

I sincerely hope that common sense prevails on this issue.

Ken F. Douglas; Revelstoke

Investors purchase water bottling plant ALEX COOPER

alex.cooper@revelstokereview.com A group of investors have purchased the Revelstoke water bottling plant and intend to restart operations sometime in the next year.

"I think water is a huge resource and I think it's something we need and its renewable," said Marke Antonsen, who is leading up the group of investors in the old plant, which is located off the Trans-Canada Highway just west of Glacier National Park.

The plant has been shuttered since September 2009 when the former owner Ice River Springs closed up shop, putting 19 people out of work in the process. At the time, the former owners said the plant wasn't competitive.

The plant was opened by Naya in 1995 and changed hands several times before being closed. Antonsen's group is the plant's fifth set of owners.

The new owners have their work cut out for them. Ice River removed most of the equipment from the facility when they closed shop, and the roof collapsed under heavy snow load in March 2012, leaving the building in shambles.

Antonensen said he bought the plant last summer and has been working on fixing it up ever since. He said they managed to get the water flowing and were able to test the quality before winter arrived. "It's still in a state of disrepair," he said. "As soon as the weather clears up we're going to clean it all up and make it so it's presentable."

The new owners will need to replace the roof and siding, and install new packaging equipment. Antonsen said they plan to sell the water in biodegradable Tetra Paks and bags in order to be environmentally friendly.

"We're not planning on doing any bottling at all," he said.

Antonsen wouldn't say how much they paid for the plant, but did say it would cost several million to purchase the new packaging equipment. He expects it will employ 10–15 people when it's running.

Wayne Stetski, from page 5 with their share of the money. We have communities that before you can get your project into the process, you need to have completed an engineering study. We have a number of smaller communities that have no engineers on staff. They’d have a really hard time even hiring the engineers to create the proposal and put the project in play. It depends on how large you are and what your tax base is in terms of what you actually afford.

Have you talked about this with anyone?

I brought it up as a question in the House. I’ve got a meeting with the department itself, so I’ll bring it up at that point.

What about the Trans-Canada file? Have you moved on David Wilks’ $5 billion package to twin the highway through the national parks?

The objective of twinning is still there. When I meet with senior Parks Canada staff I’ll bring that forward as one of the priorities. There are concerns brought forward – the hotel’s stills closed and shuttered at the pass. That’s been brought forward by a constituent as a concern.

What are the priorities for the riding?

Lots of priorities around infrastructure dollars — that’s pretty

He sees a big market for packaged water in countries where clean drinking water isn't readily available, or places like drought-stricken California. The plant comes with access to a sizeable water licence.

He's hired a branding firm to come up with a name for the water, which he said has a ph level of 7.8–8.2, making it some of the best of the world.

"We're going to try to use the Revelstoke brand because of the clean, pristine area it's in," he said.

Antonsen's background is in the fishing industry. According to an article by the London School of Economics, where he received an MBA, he holds fishing rights off the coasts of British Columbia and Alaska.

He is listed on the management team of Creston Aquaponic Spring Farms, which intends to build a fish farm that will use the fish waste in a high-tech greenhouse; and The Richmond Shrimp Company, which intends to produce live shrimp for restaurants. A brief bio says he has 30 years experience "owning, running and managing fish processing and production facilities" on the B.C. coast." standard. Golden and Revelstoke share concerns about Highway 1. ...

For me, I’ve believed for a long time we should be championing the incredible fossil opportunities we have throughout the Rocky Mountains. A lot of the fossils from Yoho for example have gone to the Royal Ontario Museum because there was no place to display them or to look after them properly locally.

I really think that should change in the long run because we have incredible fossil resources. A major visitor centre featuring fossils in Field would be very favourable to the community.

Is there anything else you'd like to say?

I’m really happy to see the government announcing they’re going to undertake the Missing & Murdered Indigenous Women review. They also said they’ll implement the recommendations of the reconciliation report for Aboriginal people. That’s an important initiative the Conservative government was not interested in. It was very important to us. It was in our platform to make a priority.

The way we describe our relationship right now with the Liberals is we’re hopeful, we’re optimistic in many aspects. All of us will know better what their priorities really are when the budget comes out.

UBC student looking for lynx, bobcat pictures STAFF WRITER A UBC student is asking Revelstoke residents to send him any recent pictures of bobcats or lynxs for a project on mapping project on the habitats of both species.

Lynx are found in boreal forests across Canada and Alaska, as well as in the mountain ranges extending south into Washington, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming and Colorado. They have extremely long legs and large paws, making them well adapted to traveling in deep snow.

Bobcats, in contrast, are found in deserts and grasslands of the contiguous United States, as well as in southern Canada. They are heavier, have smaller feet and sink into snow.

TJ Gooliaff, a biologist in training at the UBC Okanagan campus, is hypothesizing that bobcats have moved northwards and into higher elevations due to climate change, which is leading to earlier springs and lower snow levels in western North America.

Gooliaff is looking for any kinds of photos from trail cameras to conventional pictures that should include as specific location information as possible, such as UTM or longitude/latitude coordinates. Barring that, any roads or landmark, nearest town or watershed or Management Unit would be appreciated.

"I am using photos of bobcats and lynx submitted by the public to help map the current provincial distribution of both species to determine if their ranges have shifted in response to climate change," he wrote in an e-mail.

He said the photos will be used for data only, and not to influence any management decisions regarding hunting or trapping.

Photos can be emailed to Gooliaff at: tj.gooliaff@ubc.ca.

Grizzlies slump continues with playoffs approaching

ALEX COOPER

alex.cooper@revelstokereview.com The Revelstoke Grizzlies slump continued heading into the final week of the regular season in the KIJHL. Revelstoke lost 4-1 to the Kamloops Storm on the road on Friday and 5-2 to the 100 Mile House Wranglers at home on Saturday. The two teams are battling for top spot in the Doug Birks division.

The Grizzlies have now lost four out of five games in February and 10 of their last 13 dating back to January 9. Despite that, coach Ryan Parent didn't seem hugely worried following Saturday's loss.

"I think our overall game has to be better. It's just a process," he said. "We've got (three) games to finish with strong play.

In some ways I'm not concerned about the result, but just finishing with strong play."

Revelstoke was in Kamloops on Friday to face the Storm. After a scoreless first, Aaron Aragon put Revelstoke up 1-0 with a goal 84 seconds into the second period.

The Grizzlies lead was short lived, with Kamloops tying the game while shorthanded only 19 seconds later. They took the lead three minutes after that, then went up 3-1 with a power play goal with 29 seconds left in the period. Their fourth goal was an empty netter with 15 seconds left in the game.

Revelstoke was outshot 44-39 in the game.

On Saturday, the 100 Mile House Wranglers were in Revelstoke. The Grizzlies scored first when Ryan Pereverzoff got a power play goal 3:22 into the first period. The Wranglers tied the game before the midway point of the first, then took the lead on the power play early in the second.

Tommy Bodtker tied the game at 11:42 of the second after his line got a rare power play shift. The goal sparked the Grizzlies, who carried the play for the rest of the period.

Unfortunately, that was it for the Grizzlies. 100 Mile got a goal from Alex Hanson early into the third, then added two more in a 37 second span with less than five minutes to go to skate away with a 5-2 win.

Grizzlies captain Kenny Batke said he was frustrated after the game.

"I feel like we had a good enough chance to win tonight and the bounces just didn't go our way," he said. "We'll just have to regroup this week."

Parent disagreed when I suggested his team was outplayed by 100 Mile on Saturday.

"I think our level of play through 40 minutes was better. Some things related to hockey are a little to do with luck. I like what I saw," he said. "I think we were close to having enough scoring to win a game, but when you're five goals against you're not going to win."

Revelstoke has three games left before the playoffs. They host the Chase Heat on Tuesday (after press time), then play a home-and-home against the Sicamous Eagles on the weekend. They finish the regular season at home on Saturday, Feb. 20.

Revelstoke will play either 100 Mile House or Kamloops in the first round.

The Grizzlies went 3-4-1 against the Wranglers and 3-5 against the Storm in the regular season.

Parent said he feels they match up against both teams well and has no preference as to who they play.

"We have a group of guys who can get the job done," he said. "I like our prospects going into the playoffs against either 100 Mile or Kamloops. Either team would be my pick of the litter."

Batke said he would prefer to play Kamloops, "because it's less travel."

Local youth ready for BC Winter Games ALEX COOPER

Acrobats shine at first meet of 2016 JEF KLINE

arts, culture & heritage funding

Revelstoke Acrobats The Acrobats attended their first competition of the year last weekend.

We had a great showing. The club took 14 athletes to the Burnaby meet and every athlete that competed made at least one top 10 finish. For Charley Hill, Karysn Powell, and Starr and Scott Novakowski they were competing for their very first time ever, with a lot of the other athletes competing for the first time in a higher level.

All the athletes represented themselves the club and the city very well, showing great poise. Some of the highlights included Josh Winger earning a gold on double mini trampoline with his score qualifying him to mobilize to the national level and a spot on the B.C. team to nationals.

Summer Novakowski and Makenna Gallon both earned two podium finishes each.

Isabella Mendonca and Charley Hill both achieved a silver medal in their trampoline levels.

Devyn Gale earned a bronze in double mini trampoline.

Veronica Cadden, Julia Mckenzie, Parker English, Taila Gallon, Kayln Gale all made finals and had a great introduction to the season.

The next meet will be held in Kamloops from March 17-20. The club will have a record 29 athletes competing at this event, more than doubling our numbers from last season. The athletes are working on stepping up the routines and polishing off skills until then.

JOHN SIDJAK Age: 13 Sport: Alpine ski racing What do you like about your sport? Why do you like to compete? My favourite thing about my sport is that I can try as hard as I can and if I blow out I only affect myself, so if I crash and have all my skis and poles fly in different directions, it’s ok.

Who's your hero in your sport? I think my hero is probably Aksel Lund Svindal because of his attitude towards skiing.

It isn't that everyone is an enemy and you should hate them all but that, yes, everyone is competition and you should get to know them too.

What are you most looking forward too at the B.C winter games? One of the things I am the most excited for at the B.C. Winter games is meeting more competition and seeing what the faster ones do differently so I can use that to improve my skiing as well as my team's.

What is your goal for the games? My goal for the games is I would like to place top 10. Out of a pool of 80 athletes across eight zones I think this is a reasonable goal.

Do you have any pre-race superstitions? If so what are they? Yes, one of my pre-race superstitions is to go on my training skis and do a lap of careless skiing to get it out of my

Age: 13 Sport: Alpine ski racing What do you like about your sport? Why do you like to compete? I like my sport because I enjoy going fast down the ski hill and my team is fun to be with. As well, we learn lots of techniques and even skiing not related to racing. I like competing because I like to see how I place compared to everyone else at the race.

Who is your hero in your sport? I don't really have a hero in my sport, but if I had to pick it would be Aksel Lund Svindal.

What are you most looking forward to at the BC Winter Games? I'm looking forward to the experience of being there with my friends in other sports and meeting new people from other ski clubs.

What is your goal for the games? My goal is to place top 10 for at least one race. see Winter Games, page 20

Junior squash players rally against best in the west in Victoria ALEX COOPER

alex.cooper@revelstokereview.com The Dorrius' sisters Julia and Sophie posted impressive results at the Pacific Northwest Junior Squash Championships in Victoria last weekend.

Hosted by the Cedar Hill Squash Club, the tournament featured over 250 youth from throughout western Canada and the U.S. competing, including four from Revelstoke.

"It was by far the most stacked tournament we have ever gone to," said coach Kevin Dorrius in an e-mail.

"All four of our club's players who attended gained some really valuable experience playing

players of this caliber."

On the girls side, Julia and Sophie both had strong showings in their age brackets and showed they belong in the top in B.C. Sophie made the U13 semi-finals after beating the #4 ranked player in the province in straight sets.

She lost to the eventual tournament winner in the semis and then dropped the 3/4 final to finish fourth in what Dorrius called a "stacked" draw.

Julia lost her opening match in the U15 girls draw to the eventual runner-up. She then won three of her next four matches, with the wins coming in straight sets and the loss coming in extra points in the fifth and final set.

Conner (U17) and Aiden (13) McCabe ended the tournament winless, but played well against top competition, said Kevin Dorrius.

"Aiden competed in what was arguably the toughest draw in the tournament (U13 Boys) and fought through and competed really hard," Dorrius wrote. "Conner (U17 boys) showed how much his game has improved by pushing his opponents in all his matches.

"Both showed that they can rally and compete at this level," he added.

"As coach, I am thrilled with how all four kids played," he added. "They all made great advances in their games."

The club's next tournament is the BC Junior Championships at the Evergreen Squash Club in North Vancouver from March 4–6. Ten to 12 locals are expected to attend.

Taking the challenge, one step at a time ON REVELSTOKE

Alex Cooper This weekend, a group of Revelstoke volunteer firefighters are heading to Vancouver to take part in the 15th annual Climb the Wall: The Stairclimb for Clean Air. The climb sees hundreds of people tackle the 48 floors of the Sheraton Vancouver Wall Centre Hotel. Over the years, it has become a bit of a testing ground for firefighters from around B.C., who join the public to push themselves up the 150-metrehigh hotel.

The difference is they're carrying an extra 25 kilograms of equipment, from their heavy firefighter uniform, to their air tanks and masks.

On Sunday, Feb. 21, James Bacon, James Macdonald, Russ Brackenbury, Jeff Acton and Glen Cherlet will be representing the Revelstoke fire department at the Sheraton.

Last Thursday, Feb. 11, they invited me and EZ Rock's Shaun Aquiline to train with them up and down the tower stairs at the Revelstoke fire hall.

I went into it with a little trepidation and considered bowing out for no particular reason other than a lack of enthusiasm for running up and down stairs — I prefer my exercise to be outdoors.

My excuse was going to be the knee injury I experienced skiing in early December, but considering the amount of skinning, boot packing and skiing I've done in the past month, I knew that wouldn't fly, so I manned up and got up from my comfy office chair..

I showed up at the fire hall where the two Jameses suited up me and Shaun in a pair of heavy boots, pants, and jacket, with a steel air tank strapped to our backs, and a face mask. They spared us the helmet. I managed to negotiate my way into a pair of

supportive road-rescue boots instead of the bulky, rubber firefighting boots. I'm pretty sure that helped immensely for the challenge to come.

We entered the stair well and Bacon led the way up. The stairs at the fire hall consists of a dozen flights with seven steps each. In total, it climbs about 15 metres until you come out to the top, with a view over downtown Revelstoke and the OPEN TUESDAY TO FRIDAY at 3:00pm Columbia River as your reward.

SATURDAY at 2:00pm My thought was this was like boot packing to the sub peak at Revelstoke Mountain Resort, but MEAT DRAW EVERY SATURDAY with much bulkier clothing — and in a way less scenic environment. from 3:00 - 5:00pm We jogged up at a steady pace, taking it one step at a time. We got to the top, paused for a quick breath, then went back down. We went back up a second time, at which point Shaun hit his breaking point.

For me, the hardest part was breathing. I consider myself in reasonably good shape, if not by Revelstoke standards, at least by Canadian standards, but I struggled with breathing inside the air mask.

It was constricting and threw off my rhythm.

Thick as Thieves hits the Jazz Club STAFF WRITER

Salmon Arm group Thick as Thieves is at the Revelstoke Jazz Club this Friday, Feb. 19. ~ Photo contributed

The music will be all over the place on Feb. 19 when Thick as Thieves play their imaginative blend of jazz, blues, folk and world music at the Revelstoke Jazz Club.

The quartet features Richard Owings on five-string violin and arrangements, Jordan Dick on guitar, Blair Shier on guitar/bass and Larry Keats on drums.

A principal inspiration for the group is the distinctive work of American composer and guitarist Bill Frisell. The quartet performs its own original versions of choice Frisell compositions and arrangements, plus new tunes written by band members.

Of special interest are the band’s covers of the Beatles’ Strawberry Fields and Julia, in fresh instrumental settings.

Owings is well- known to audiences for his work with the folk/ Celtic band Birchbark and for his many performances in various Gypsy swing bands led by Willy Gaw. Dick and Shier gig frequently in the Salmon Arm area, sometimes as a guitar duet, sometimes as part of Sunday’s Cool. Owings, Dick and Shier have been featured players in the acclaimed Django Gypsy jazz shows at Shuswap Theatre. Dick also serves as the artistic director for the Salmon Arm Jazz Society. Keats plays drums with the Salmon Armenians. All members of Thick as Thieves are active as music teachers and educators.

The Rebvelstoke Jazz Club takes place in the Selkirk Room of the Regent Hotel on Friday, Feb. 19. Doors open at 7 p.m.

Heritage Week celebrates our 'built heritage' CATHY ENGLISH

Revelstoke Museum & Archives

Overview of Mackenzie Avenue and surrounding area, circa 1908. Minto Manor can be seen at the end of Mackenzie.

It was orginally built as “The Birches” in 1905 for local businessman Robert Howson. ~ Photo contributed by Revelstoke Museum & Archives

February 15 to 21 is Heritage Week in British Columbia and the theme for this year is Distinctive Destinations: Experience Historic Places.

The whole community of Revelstoke can be considered a historic place, and we can be proud of how well we have preserved and honoured our history. Many of our historic downtown buildings were restored to their original glory during the Heritage Revitalization project of the 1980s, and more recently a Heritage Conservation Area was created to give some protection to the many heritage homes from Mackenzie Avenue going east to Vernon Avenue.

Still, there is much work to be done to ensure that we retain our valuable built heritage. The City of Revelstoke has a Heritage Committee made up of volunteers from the community to advise the city on heritage issues. We are fortunate to have the number of heritage buildings that we do, and we need to do everything we can to preserve them.

Our built heritage is a big part of what makes Revelstoke a distinctive destination.

This Saturday, February 20, Revelstoke Museum & Archives is celebrating Heritage Week with free admission to the museum all day, and a presentation on Revelstoke’s Heritage Neighbourhoods at 2:30 p.m.

From 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., curator Cathy English will help homeowners find information on their heritage homes, using the historic tax records and early fire insurance maps. Everyone is welcome to come and explore the museum and try the Then & Now game to match heritage buildings.

Maxine was born on July 13, 1928 in Victoria, B.C. and had been a resident of Revelstoke since 1989. She was a very zealous Jehovah’s Witness and faithful to her death. Maxine had a great love for her family and never lost her zest for life. She enjoyed gardening on her patio and especially loved her cat “Twinkles.”

Maxine was predeceased by her husband Chauncey, brothers Alan and Lorne, sister-inlaw Maria and granddaughter Kendra Brown.

She is survived by her son David (Coleen) Brown; daughter Alana (Terry) Dubeau; grandchildren Rhonda (Clayton), Lorraine and Nathan; nine great grandchildren.

Valentina Margaret (Val) Munroe Valentina Margaret (Val) Munroe passed away at Polson Extended Care, Vernon on Monday, February 8th, 2016 at the age of 74 years. There will be no formal funeral service by Val’s own request but a Celebration of Life will be held in Val’s memory later this year.

Val was born in Rzeszow, Poland on February 20, 1941. She moved to Holland during the war, then immigrated to Canada with a short stay in Hudson’s Bay Junction, soon thereafter moving to Revelstoke in 1949. She was involved with Beta Sigma Phi and volunteered at Queen Victoria Hospital, helping Kathleen Kobelka. Val was also an avid supporter of Richard while he was involved with the Selkirk Hockey Association. She was a member of the Revelstoke Art Group and did beautiful china paintings and lace draping with Doris Pryhitko. Val was active when her children were in sports and volunteered her time with the Figure Skating Club. She loved cross country skiing at the Golf Course, camping and hunting with her husband and was an avid fisherwoman.

Val will be well remembered for owning Classic Touch Jewellery, she loved working in the store and being around people.

Val was predeceased by her mother in 1975 and her three faithful companions – her dogs Bailey, Cody and Mitzi. She is survived by her devoted husband of 54 years Richard; two children: Tanya (Mark) Camara of Calgary and Don Munroe (Tanya Kemprud) of Revelstoke, and grandchildren Berkley and Cameron Camara and Henrik and Sawyer Munroe.

A Memorial Service will be held at the Revelstoke United Church on Saturday, February 20th at 1:00 p.m. with Mr. Gary Sulz officiating. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the United Church Women, in memory of Marg.

Marg was born in Hartney, Manitoba on July 3, 1932, the daughter of Ethel and Harry Hamelin, and had been a resident of Revelstoke since 1941, coming here as a teenager. She was a member of the U.C.W., Girl Guides, Revelstoke Arts Society and a long-time member of the Revelstoke Curling Club. Marg was an avid gardener and took such pride in her yard. She welcomed birds of all varieties to her yard, and took the time to ensure they were fully fed! In her spare time, Marg enjoyed bowling. She enjoyed a daily walk and rode her bicycle and swam at Williamsons Lake into her 80’s. Marg was well known for her grape jelly, and many homemade contributions to the annual UCW Bazaar. She was also a master pie maker, and no family dinner was complete without one. She would ensure you had a piece of her pie, no matter how full you were!

Marg was predeceased by her husband Howard in 1999 and her sister Joyce McLaren in 1980.

She is survived by two children: Gary (Kellie) Christy of Revelstoke and Julie (Roger) Kozek of Revelstoke; five grandchildren: Catherine (Brock) Cody of Kelowna, Andrew (Nadine) Christy and their children Sidda and Adley of Gardom Lake, Jordan Mathieu of Calgary, Meghan Mathieu (Drew Filby) of Calgary and Chloe Mathieu of Calgary; one sister Joan (Glen) McGregor of Revelstoke as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
